Homemade Mexican Burritos

Learn how to prepare Mexican burritos step by step. In this case we will make them meat.Cut the first into small cubes and shred the second.

Wash the peppers, the tomato and chilies. Remove the white vein and the seeds of chilies and peppers. Cut everything into small cubes.

Heat a pan with a couple of tablespoons of oil , and cook the onion and garlic over medium heat, until the onion begins to turn transparent.

Add the tomatoes, peppers and cut chiles to the mixture and let them cook for a few minutes, so that the tomato evaporates its liquid.

Remove the ingredients in the pan and add the meat. Mix, and lower the intensity of the fire a little.

Let the meat cook in the pan. It is usually ready before 15 minutes.

You can take advantage of the cooking time of the meat to grate or cut into pieces the cheese.

Once the meat has been cooked, add salt and pepper to taste. Mix all the stew and try. Correct the seasoning, if necessary.

Lightly heat each tortilla on an iron at low intensity (it is recommended to lightly grease the iron so that it does not stick or blacken). You have to do it quickly so that the tortillas do not harden.

Stretch each tortilla in a plate and distribute refried beans on its central part. Then cover with a handful of meat, and sprinkle plenty of cheese on top.

Double the ends of the tortilla inwards, and rolls up to form a tube.

Surely you thought it was more difficult to prepare the burritos. Well, no, the truth is that they are an easy Mexican recipe, which also works well if you want to make food for several people or if you have guests at home.
